A Former Fostoria track and cross country coach has pleaded no contest to several charges involving minors. The Courier reports a judge found 28-year-old Nelson Cousin guilty on three counts of contributing to the unruliness of a minor and four counts of child endangerment. Judge Mark Repp also found Cousin guilty on one count of prohibitions concerning companion animals. The crimes were first-degree misdemeanors.

Repp sentenced Nelson to 180 days in jail and suspended 170 days of the sentence. Cousin is also prohibited from contacting his victims.

The Fostoria School district fired Cousin in July after finding he encouraged three teenage girls to send him sexually explicit pictures. He also sent nude photos of himself to the victims. Officers investigating the case found Cousin’s children living in filth, with a dead dog decaying in a bedroom of their home.
